Fruit in Bowl


Wow. It's been a long time since I've posted something. I really have been busy. I am taking several classes but have resisted signing up for more as it got to be too much.
I am in Fallbrook, California visiting my sister. She was called in to work today so I had some time to myself. I sat down and painted this pear in a bowl that was sitting on her table. I'm very happy with it. I went for wild and painted the shadowy white interior with purple. I felt like gray would have been boring and blah. This looks colorful and makes me happy. I hope you enjoy it too.
Done in my journal on watercolor paper with gouache paints.

  2. Wonderful pear! The 'wild' purple shadow is perfect. Lovely, happy color. I'm another who has been away from drawing for awhile, I tend to cycle through my many hobbies and now I'm back in a drawing phase. (DH is just glad I'm not adding new hobbies :)!) Have fun with your classes!
